Send the Excel file to the iOS device with QuickPlan installed. On the iOS device, then to open the Excel file in QuickPlan to import as a new project(for example, if the Excel file been sent to the iOS in an email as an attachment, please long presst on the attached Excel file, and then to select "Copy to QuickPlan" activity).

Tips:

The goal of this feature design is to improve the efficiency of project task input on the iOS devices. Although the use of QuickPlan can help us greatly improve the efficiency of project maintenance (which is more efficient than many gantt apps even on the Desktop device), input on the iOS devices is still a efficiency bottleneck. This feature helps us to complete the main input work on the MAC or on the PC, which contributes to overall productivity

If you also use "QuickPlan for macOS" on the Mac, we strongly suggest to create the project in QuickPlan, then sync the project to iOS devices.

There are many methods to "send" the Excel file from a PC or a Mac to iOS device

Send file as attached file in an email

Share file from Mac to iOS via Airdrop

Shree file to iOS via iTunes app on the Mac or on the PC

Sync to iOS device via iCloud Drive

Share to iOS device via 3rd cloud storage, such as the Dropbox service

QuickPlan also supports to export project as MS Excel file, for REPORTING purpose! The content and format of the exported Excel file and in this Template are different. Some users may expect to change the content in the exported Excel file, and then to import again for a special workflow, this is not the suitable solution QuickPlan prefers, as inputting into Excel file is out of the control of QuickPlan app, it's very easy to create error in the Excel file, and actually except typing, QuickPlan does much more efficiently on project maintenance.
